And even then China has not even caught up the Per-Capita GDP that the Soviet Union accomplished in the 1980s.
The Soviet Union was an economic and industrial powerhouse.
Soviet GDP/capita in 1980 was $5800/person, in 1991 $9200, Chinese GDP/capita is now roughly $10,500 per capita, per the world bank.
Is that accounting for inflation?
With inflation $5800 would be $19,564.30 today.
